For the functions f(x) and g(x) , evaluate the indicated function.
-The number of male lawyers, in thousands, in a certain country in a particular year can be approximated by the function f(x) = 11.4x + 214, where x represents the number of years after 1985.
The number of female lawyers , in thousands, in a certain country in a particular year can be
Approximated by the function g(x) = 10.3x + 162, where again x represents the number of years
After 1985.
(i) Find (f + g) (x) . Explain, in your own words, what this function represents.
(ii) Find (f + g) (40) . Explain, in your own words, what this number represents.
A) (i) (f + g) (x) = 173.4x + 224.3; this is the total number of lawyers, in thousands, in a certain country x years after 1985.
(ii) 7160.3; there will be 7,160,300 lawyers in a certain country in the year 2025.
B) (i) (f + g) (x) = 225.4x + 172.3; this is the total number of lawyers, in thousands, in a certain country x years after 1985.
(ii) 9188.3; there will be 9,188,300 lawyers in a certain country in the year 2025.
C) (i) (f + g) (x) = 397.7x; this is the total number of lawyers, in thousands, in a certain country x years after 1985.
(ii) 15,908; there will be 15,908,000 lawyers in a certain country in the year 2025.
D) (i) (f + g) (x) = 21.7x + 376; this is the total number of lawyers, in thousands, in a certain country x years after 1985.
(ii) 1244; there will be 1,244,000 lawyers in a certain country in the year 2025.
